But it just as much speaks to the value of engagementbeyond the walls of the university. Without some external engagement in the curriculum,projects and problems remain reason-based and/or hypothetical. For example, an imagined end-user does not speak back; however, someone with direct experience of an engineered technologymay have something to say about where problems within a given device lie. Ethics educationarguably has the same problem if the extent of ethical training remains in the student’simagination and if ethics is not something consciously lived out within the context of

Social responsibility is embodied in theEngineer’s Creed and is directly related to engineering ethics [10], so much so that theengineering accrediting agency ABET requires that graduates can approach their work in asocially responsible manner [11]. The principles of social responsibility are what attract manystudents to engineering, specifically those from underrepresented groups [12]. Matusovich et al.[13] and Mehaffy [14] identified the need to incorporate students’ personal values, such as socialresponsibility, into the engineering curriculum to allow them to personally connect with theirengineering identity and thereby increase retention.
